In the face of increasing headwinds, it is more important than ever to support businesses in meeting the expectations of stakeholders and meaningfully advancing anti-discriminatory business practices.

To meet this moment, new tools are needed to guide the way forward. Please join us on Thursday, July 25 at 11:30 am ET for the launch of new Civil Rights Audit Standards for businesses, auditors, and everyone who has a stake in how business operates today and in the future.
 

The forthcoming Civil Rights Audit Standards will provide the much-needed guidance for businesses to conduct meaningful independent audits that win the trust of their stakeholders and advance responsible business practices.

Developed by an independent cross-sector committee of leaders — including civil rights auditors, business leaders, civil rights groups, and investors — the Civil Rights Audit Standards are grounded in principles of nondiscrimination and will promote greater consistency and credibility in civil rights audits. These standards are also a core component of the Corporate Racial Equity Alliance’s recently released Business Standards for 21st Century Leadership.

Join PolicyLink, CapEQ, and other leaders behind this effort for a special showcase and deep dive into the Civil Rights Audit Standards. The event will feature Farhana Khera, civil rights advisor and lead drafter of the standards, and other leaders behind this groundbreaking effort, including:

• Evan Feeney, Color of Change; Civil Rights Audit Standards Committee Chair
• Renaye Manley, Civil Rights Audit Standards Committee Vice-Chair
• Mahlet Getachew, PolicyLink; Civil Rights Audit Standards Committee Member

We hope you join us, for now is not the time to retreat. Now is the time to make lasting progress.
